OCPD RECEIVES GRACIOUS DONATION FROM MACKY’S

Chief Ross Buzzuro with Macky and Pam Stansell
(August 12, 2014) – The Ocean City Police Department has received a very gracious donation from Macky’s Bayside Bar & Grill totaling $5,000. The donation will be earmarked for the OCPD K-9 Unit and Mounted Unit.

“Our officers wear the badge but it’s our great community members that stand behind that badge,” said Chief Ross Buzzuro. “I thank Macky’s for their gracious donation and continued dedication to our partnership.”

The money donated by Macky’s was collected as a cover charge at the Life Is Good Music Festival which took place on Tuesday, May 28.

The funds will be used for the care, training and gear for the canines and horses of the OCPD

The cops and department are ROLLING in money. What is Macky's thinking?

The Macky's were thinking of something nice to do, that is what they were thinking.

I have know Pam and Macky for many years now. These are two of the kindest people I have ever known in Ocean City and they have EARNED their success. They are simply paying it forward and good for them.

I would consider paying it forward to be helping the locals rather than giving money to the police. The police are funded by the city/county/state/feds. Help those that really need it.

No surprise here. This couple has been incredibly generous to many charities and organizations over the years.
If there is any surprise at all, it's the fact that there is a photo of this particular donation. In the true spirit of giving and charity, Macky and Pam have done so much very quietly, with no fanfare, and under the radar.

A mounted unit can be very costly for a PD and if not funded by private donations would otherwise take a large part of a PD's budget.
Mounted units as well as K9's not only serve in a public relations role, but are useful in certain situations such as crowd dispersement.
